How to print array elements on a separate line in Bash

In this tutorial, we will learn how to print the array elements on a separate line in Bash.

Consider, we have the following prices array in Bash:

prices=(10 20 30)

Printing the array elements

To print the array elements on a separate line, we can use the printf command with the %s format specifier and newline character \n in Bash.

Here is an example:

prices=(10 20 30)

printf '%s\n' "${prices[@]}"

Output:

10
20
30

@$ expands the each element in the array as a separate argument.

%s is a format specifier for a string that adds a placeholder to the array element.

\n adds the line break after each element in an array.
